Rubberized pin discs at the C station knock heavy slag off the cut edge. The abrasive belt behind them only has to clean up the edge instead of cutting through slag.
Heavy slag removal (C), belt deburring (B) and edge rounding (R) sit in the same frame. Plate goes in with slag and comes out deburred with a rounded edge.
Choose 1,000 mm or 1,300 mm working width for parts up to 500 or 600 kg. Thickness goes up to 120 mm depending on the application, with magnetic and/or vacuum holding.
From chipping hammer to pin disc: what each method does on thermally cut plate.
| Process | What it does | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|
| Manual chipping and grinding | Chipping hammer, scraper and angle grinder remove slag part by part. Results depend on the operator. | Prototypes, repair work, a few parts per day |
| Pin disc deslagging (C station) | Rubberized pin discs break heavy slag off the cut edge without grinding into the plate. | Plasma and oxy-fuel cut plate with heavy dross |
| Belt deburring (B station) | A wide abrasive belt removes the remaining burr and slag residue and cleans up the cut line. | Thermally cut parts after deslagging, laser cut and punched parts |
| Edge rounding and oxide removal (R station) | Flap brushes round the edge. Oxide removal brushes clean the oxide off oxygen-cut faces. | Parts for painting, powder coating and welding |
Where deslagging pays off: plasma and oxy-fuel cut plate headed for welding, coating or leveling.
Plasma cut brackets, gussets, flanges and base plates with dross along the bottom edge. Slag, burr and sharp edge come off in the same pass.
Thick flame-cut plate for structural steel, machine frames and heavy equipment. The TF-RBC-3013 carries parts up to 600 kg across a 1,300 mm working width.
Slag and oxide on the cut edge contaminate the weld. Deslagged, deburred edges go straight to the welder or to a plate beveling machine without hand grinding.
Primer and paint pull thin over sharp edges. Slag-free edges rounded at the R station hold a more even coating thickness before blasting, painting or powder coating.
Remove slag before thick plate goes into a roller leveler, so loose residue does not mark the rolls or get pressed into the plate surface.
Station control, machine protection and conveyor options on the TF-RBC.
The conveyor stays at a fixed height while each station moves up and down on its own servo drive. You set the C, B and R stations separately for plate thickness and slag height.
Store settings per part and recall them by part name. Automatic laser thickness measurement reads the incoming plate and updates the setup.
Torque monitoring and a limit switch above the pressure roller stop the machine when a part is thicker than the value on the screen. Belt and contact drum stay protected.
Optional powered infeed and outfeed conveyors and a return conveyor bring heavy parts back to the operator for turning or unloading.
These images illustrate TFON processing examples. Material, tooling and results for your application should be confirmed through sample evaluation.
Working width, part weight and automation decide the configuration.
Send photos of your cut edges and plate data. We will recommend a TF-RBC configuration.
